HOLY CRAP: Speaker Mike Johnson Just Revealed That Democrat Insiders Are Admitting Privately…

On Day 21 of the federal government shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., continued to call out Senate Democrats for prioritizing political survival over the needs of the American people.

The shutdown, now approaching its third week, began after Senate Democrats blocked a House Republican bill that would have kept the government open.

Two Democrats—Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada—broke ranks alongside Independent Sen. Angus King to vote in favor of funding.

Johnson pointed to newly reported remarks from anonymous Democratic insiders revealing deep fear within their ranks. One senator told The Hill, “People are going to get hammered if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government.”

Another insider likened the situation to the French Revolution, stating there would be enough Democratic support to reopen the government “if people were not terrified of getting the guillotine.”

Johnson emphasized that this fear of their far-left base is what continues to prevent the Senate from ending the shutdown.

“Do not be distracted,” Johnson told reporters during a press conference on October 21. “The American people would have an open government if Democrats were not terrified of their radical base.”

The shutdown has led to immediate and severe consequences for Americans across the country. Federal employees, including members of the military, continue to work without pay, while thousands of other federal workers have been furloughed entirely.

Air travel has been disrupted nationwide. NBC News reported that 53% of flight delays are now attributed to air traffic control staffing shortages, compared to the usual 5%. This has left travelers facing significant disruptions.

In Colorado, food banks are experiencing a growing crisis, as Sky High News detailed. Yet Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper have voted repeatedly to keep the government closed, leaving families in need without support.

Virginia faces similar struggles. Veterans’ medical care is being disrupted due to the shutdown. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have repeatedly voted to maintain the closure, forcing delays in vital health services.

Hawaii seniors relying on telehealth services have also been impacted. Senators Brian Shatz and Mazie Hirono have continued voting to block reopening, leaving vulnerable populations without essential care.

California sees widespread consequences as well. ABC7 News reported that Alameda food banks are stepping in to support TSA workers and their families. Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff have repeatedly voted to prolong the shutdown, directly affecting working families.

In Illinois, federal courts have reduced operations due to lack of funding, according to WIFR. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth have consistently voted to maintain the closure, further delaying justice for citizens.

Johnson framed these actions as evidence that Democrats have abandoned principle for politics. “Democrats used to care about the harm shutdowns caused hardworking Americans,” he said. “Now it’s all about politics, not principle.”

The speaker also reiterated criticisms of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accusing him of initiating the shutdown for partisan advantage. Johnson suggested Schumer is motivated by fear of changing political winds in New York, including the potential election of a Marxist mayor in New York City.

Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has continued its bipartisan investigation into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting stark contrasts with the Democrats’ inaction on key issues. Johnson and Oversight Chairman James Comer emphasized the extensive document release, which now includes 43,000 pages of DOJ and Epstein Estate records.

The committee has also subpoenaed and received deposition transcripts from key figures, including former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. These records detail financial logs, travel records, and personal schedules of Epstein, shedding light on previously concealed activity.

Johnson criticized Democrats for suddenly politicizing the Epstein files despite ignoring them for four years under the Biden administration. He described their outrage as opportunistic rather than principled.

“Some Democrats, and even a few Republicans, have tried to make this a political issue rather than focus on justice for the victims,” Johnson said. “That is shameful.”

Charlie Kirk Shared Haunting Final Post

Charlie Kirk Shared Haunting Final Post

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk shared a chilling final message only minutes before being fatally shot during a campus event in Utah. The attack occurred on Wednesday, September 10, as he addressed a packed audience of students at Utah Valley University.

Donald Trump confirmed the news of his death on Truth Social, writing, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me.” Trump extended condolences to Kirk’s wife Erika and family.

Kirk, founder and executive director of Turning Point USA, was speaking on stage when a gunshot rang out. Footage captured the moment, showing Kirk struck in the neck before collapsing backward, blood visible from the wound.

Witnesses described chaos in the auditorium as students screamed and scrambled for cover. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but the commentator could not be saved. The Department of Justice later confirmed it was investigating the shooting as a “senseless act of violence.”

Just before his death, Kirk had shared a post about the murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee killed on a train in North Carolina last month. He condemned the system that allowed her attacker, a man with 14 prior offenses, to remain free.

In his final message on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kirk wrote: “If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster…to kill her.”

That statement now reads like a haunting premonition, highlighting his determination to link violence to policy failures.

His sudden death has sent shockwaves through conservative circles, leaving supporters mourning the loss of one of the movement’s most influential voices.
